How to Remove a
Wrinkle/Fold Marks on your Step and Repeat / Vinyl Banner

What
Vinyl Banners are made of?

Our
step and repeat banner is made of 13oz vinyl. We always advise our clients to
NEVER fold the vinyl banners. The vinyl banner material is not made to be
folded and folding will cause wrinkles that may or may not be removable. Always
roll your banners, and preferably on a hard cardboard or plastic tube core so
that it won’t be crushed or folded.

“My employee
accidentally folded the banner! What can we do?”

We
do understand that mistakes happen!

Here
are some ways that may be used to straighten out the wrinkles.

Sun:

The
wrinkle may be removed by simply hanging the banner out in the sun. If you have
weights, attach them to the end of the banner via the grommets and the wrinkles
will usually come out.

Heat-devices:

Place
the banner—print side down—on a flat surface. Use a steam iron at a low
temperature to apply heat to the non-printed side until the wrinkles come out.
DO NOT USE A HOT IRON or direct heat on the print.

*These
methods do not guarantee 100% wrinkle removal but will definitely help to
smooth your banner out.
